||||
|
||||

|
||||

||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Configuration
|
||||

|
||||
"screen_name": "MyScreen",
|
||||
"quickconnect_key": "12345",
|
||||

|
||||
}
|

## 5. Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Permission Denied for `run_app.sh`
|
||||
- Ensure the script is executable:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x /home/pi/Desktop/signage-player/run_app.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Application Does Not Start on Boot
|
||||
- Verify the `~/.bashrc` or `crontab` entry is correct.
|
||||
- Check the script's permissions and paths.
|
||||
|
||||
### Media Files Not Playing
|
||||
- Ensure media files are downloaded to the correct directory:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
/home/pi/Desktop/signage-player/src/static/resurse
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Check the playlist configuration and server connection.
|
||||
|
||||
### Password for Exit App
|
||||
- The password is the `quickconnect_key` from the configuration file (`app_config.txt`).
